BRAND Fissure Vein in Sutton Mine Has Turned Downward A new discovery was made at the Sutton copper mine near Eminence last week, according to the Eminence Current Wave, when it was found that the fissure vein of ore turned downward. Ground Foreman Larkin, after putting in several days straighten ing out the drift, became interested in the formation and had same drilled and shot, with the result that open ground was discovered, the depth of which at this time is 10 feet. The opening is filled with mud and boulders of copper, the ore being very rich. This drift has been running on the porphyry since encountered the same at a depth of nearly 50 feet. The opening encountered indicates that the workers have found a break in the porphyry or that they have been working along the edge of a porphyry bar and now have left the same.
